[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]biggest fraud http://nymag.com/selectall/2017/04/theranos-staged-fake-blood-tests-for-investors.html [img]http://media.vanityfair.com/photos/5783b6af3d5bd24b0c64e03a/master/w_1920,c_limit/elizabeth-holmes-theranos-secrets.jpg[/img][/quote] Yep. Fav comment First clue on Elizabeth Holmes? She never blinks.The Jobs-like clothing shtick should have sent up a red flare or two, as well.Obviously, neither was a detriment to her becoming an instantly ubiquitous cover girl for Forbes, Fortune and the rest (The New York Times' very own T magazine, even -- the ultimate!) and All-American darling (And why not? she's both a millennial and blond!!) as the mainstream media were suckered into skepticism-free overdrive while taking her flimflammery at face value.And let's not forget that only two years ago this week, Time magazine was hailing her as a "tech visionary" -- one of its vaunted 100 Most Influential People -- endorsed with a hymn of praise by none other than Henry Kissinger. Indeed.We're so collectively gullible, aren't we?Sincerest thanks once again to the Wall Street Journal's John Carreyou and Mike Siconolfi for the desperately needed reality check and the always welcome reminder that real journalism -- the kind based on unflinching integrity -- is the best antidote to mindless hype.[/quote]
